82nd Annual Academy Awards 2010
This year's 82nd Academy Awards was an occasion to see jewellery and fashion bursting in a glamour extravaganza. The elite of movie stars were dressed and jewelled to the nines. The ceremony, held at the Kodak Theatre in Los Angeles recently, certainly downplayed the pomp in terms of jewellery.
Several stars opted for more neutral grey. Last but not the least, strong colours truly inspired by gemstones blossomed out in a variation of rich blues, red and fuchsia tones. Jewellery was most often matched with dresses; coloured gemstones were widely represented, including coloured diamonds, emeralds, rubies, sapphires, pearls, turquoise, amethysts, aquamarines and opals. Earrings were again very prominent throughout this ceremony, especially chandelier earrings. Cocktail rings and stackable, large bracelets were also among the "must haves".
